Ankle Flashcards
Talocrural Joint (TCJ) Consists of
Talus, Fibula/Tibia
TCJ Anatomical Movement
Plantarflexion/Dorsiflexion
TCJ Accessory Movement
Talar body rolls in mortise
Anterior/Posterior Glide
Talar Tilt
Excessive Movement of Talus (not an anatomical term)
TCJ Accessory Movement in Plantar/Dorsi Flexion
Limited Accessory Movement in DF
More Movement in PF
Lateral Ligaments of TCJ
Anterior Talofibular (ATFL)
Calcaneofibular (CFL)
Posterior Talofibular (PTFL)
ATFL Attachments
A: Neck of Talus
P: Lateral Malleolus
ATFL Limits/Assisted By
L: Inversion in plantarflexion
Assisted by: Fib. Longus and Brevis
CFL Attachments
P: Lateral Malleolus
D: Lateral surface of Calcaneus
CFL Limits/Assisted By
L: Inversion
Assisted by: Fib. Longus/Brevis
PTFL Attachments
Lateral: Medial surface of lateral malleolus
Medial: Posterolateral Talus
PTFL Limits/Assisted by
L: Dorsiflexion
Assisted By: Talar Body shape
Medial Ligaments of Ankle
Anterior Tibiotalar
Posterior Tibiotalar
Tibionavicular
Tibiocalcaneal
(Deltoid Ligament/Complex)
Medial Ligaments Attachments
P: All at Medial Malleolus
D: (Anterior Tibiotalar) Neck of Talus
Posterior Tibiotalar: Body of Talus
Tibionavicular: Navicular Bone
Tibiocalcaneal: Calcaneus
Subtalar Joints (Shapes, Type of Joint)
Talocalcaneal (Plane Shape, Synovial)
Talocalcalealnavicular (Ball and Socket, Synovial)
Considered discrete joints but always function together
